Abstract

An apparatus and method of determining the point at which a tubular is stuck within another tubular or a wellbore by applying a tensile or torsional force to the stuck tubular and measuring the response of various locations within the tubular. The apparatus comprises two anchoring mechanismus (375, 325) for connecting it to the tubular, a sensor for detecting linear displacement within the tubular, a sensor for detecting angular displacement within the tubular. The apparatus may be combined with a cutting tool to separate the free portion of the tubular from the stuck portion.
